[William Monroe]

Thanks Debbie, Terry, Thump,

Lucky me, this one has the tubing through the keyframe.  I'll probably give 
Ferd a call sometime early next week.  I sincerely appreciate the direction 
on this one.  One other question: any estimates as to how many hours to R&R 
the action, including disassembling/reassembling this rig?

Thanks,
William R. Monroe
